Yep, a lot of us got that. Tends to come several months after you buy the car.

Mine came a week after I bought a bottle myself.

I just got my touch BB touch up paint for the 2006 MX5 I purchased last November. It sucks because I traded in the car for my Nordic Green RX8 two months ago.

Well now - how cool is that -- Gives me something to look forward to seeing in my mail box for a change!

I've actually gone thru one bottle (broke it right after I bot the darn thing - so used it to do my calipers LOL - how was that for good timing) and now have a spare - but you can never have too much touch up paint I guess -- rock chips and fingers and toes are just other practical uses for it LOL

Yeah...........I got a bottle in the mail about one month after buying the car. A friend of mine who bought a 6 was going to buy himself a bottle for his new car and I said "Wait about a month and they will send you one", sure enough they sent him one as well.

I've owned 7 Mazdas since 1987 and I've NEVER gotten a free bottle of touch-up paint!

What's up with that, Mazda????!!!!

each year would have knocked off 25 in monthly payment, but the amount of interest paid and for a higher overall interest rate... i chose 5 years @ 484.xx (8%APR) vs. 7 years @ 427.xx. (9.75%)

I paid cash and avoided interest charges.

I still give them $500 a month because I love the car so much.

Hey Cav dont feel bad, they gave me a bill of 810.00 for 7 years...'course that includes the extended warranty, Gap insurance, Glass etching, tire warranty..so Meh, I guess It's ok. I'm just trying to pay a payment and a half each month and dropping the principal like crazy. Learned one thing though. The faster they get your payment the more applies to the principal. Wish my mortgage was like that.

Oh and I got my paint within a couple of months of buying the car....
